INSPIRING WOMEN IN LAW

Six of the 100 women nominated by the Guardian to mark International Women's Day are lawyers. Find out who made the cut. We asked @GdnLaw's Twitter followers for their own additions.

Jennifer Blair suggested Dawson Cornwell partner and expert on family law and the international movement of children Anne-Marie Hutchinson: "Anne-Marie's work is pretty inspiring." Barry Murphy nominated former Irish president Mary Robinson: "She won for women ... gay rights, free legal aid, contraceptive rights, press freedom." Cherie Booth didn't make the list, but Alex Aldridge has an exclusive interview with the Matrix QC here.

Booth argues that law should be part of the national curriculum, while acknowledging that a bigger barrier to access is the uneven playing field in secondary education. Also find out why she spent her university days eating lunch in the library, while husband Tony was in the pub.
